@CO3 LOL

I have talked with someone who had success in rebuilding her microbiome. She saw improvements within 3 months, but she said that generally repopulating the microbiome is a long term process and can take years.
Makes you wonder why people quit too soon, they expect results too early.
I too didn't have the patience.
Her approach was probiotics, and slow reintroduction of plants, fibers, veggies. She saw big improvements in depression, candida, bloating after a couple months.

I don't have much experience, but I think I understand what you're saying.
I found some studies suggesting that a Frankel Appliance could help with what you're describing. In this study they conclude that the "Significant alveolar and apical base expansion was found in the treatment group". It seems like the alveolar and apical base is just the bone on the base of the upper teeth, so if they shift everything forward and help your tongue guide the other tissue forward, it'll probably make the features less hollow.

Though, some example/reference photos would be helpful just to be sure.

I bought from there recently, and it took a few days for them to confirm the payment after I emailed the template. Arrived quickly though, all good.

@Brandon Hmm. You can try! A tiny bit of olive oil to dissolve is best. Maybe try slathering a bit on a little zit or something. It's just the way I tried it! If you're gonna try orally I would suggest doing 2 corn kernel sized drops at once, rubbed into the gums. My idea is just that it would have a significant, palpable effect, which can help to make it a valuable tool once you understand it.

@AndrewPeatMatrix Turn off all notifications (e.g. vibrations, sounds) on your phone. Stop scrolling on social media and begin reading books instead. Don't watch internet videos.

Screen usage/culture is highly anti-social and neurologically dysfunctional, and that's saying nothing about EMF or blue light.

It also lends itself to hyperstimulating addictions like pornography, which will cause further brain decay on its own.

Dopamine is very important to keep elevated, but you should do it by resensitizing yourself to the elements (i.e. earth, water, air, fire), animals, people and so on - not by "digital culture" (Ray Peat's term) with its degenerative cyber simulacra of reality.

Probably worth noting as well that marijuana has very high levels of heavy metals, absorbs a lot of lead and cadmium from the soil it’s grown in, a high concentration of lead in the bloodstream is found significantly associated with an elevated risk of schizophrenia.

@the-MOUSE

I doubt you have too much stomach acid.

How could you have too much when your condition of being both low in CO2 and NaCl disposes you towards making less rather than too much stomach acid, being that your condition of metabolic acidosis deprives you of hydronium ions (being hydronium ions in blood would be transferred to the cell in exchange for the potassium ions inside cells, which explains why you are high in serum potassium - as that is how the body adapts to metabolic acidosis by trying to make the blood more alkaline with potassium ions brought in to blood by that exchange between hydronium and potassium ions.

You are also short on salt (as well as sodium and chloride) that you are low on chloride needed to make hydrochloric acid aka stomach acid.

Because you are low in CO2, your platelets cannot carry serotonin into your lungs, as CO2 is needed to enable platelets to carry serotonin to the lungs. It is in the lungs where most of your serotonin is deactivated. If serotonin is not being deactivated in your lungs nor carried by platelets, you have plenty of free serotonin which would end up also in your brain.

Taking cyproheptadine hasn't worked for me when I was having problems with my lungs when I had bronchitis. I couldn't sleep for days on end and I think the problem was simply too much serotonin messing my brain.

it works exceptionally well for studying and retention, it is essentially all i utilize as a full-time engineering student to ensure my time spent studying is productive.

i will drink coffee throughout the morning / early afternoon then i will use 50mg allithiamine when its time to start reading. if im still going after several hours i will take another dose.

i find it is important to have a steady supply of glucose during this block, i don't like snacking / grazing so what i will do is increase the frequency of my meals during this block, and maybe within this block a couple times i will have servings of fresh fruit. i believe it is essential to feed the b1 with adequate carbohydrates. my meals during this block are simply jasmine rice and lean meat cooked in coconut oil, fruits will either be citrus fruits or berries.

during this block i might eat a meal as frequently as once every hour or 1.5 hours just to ensure i have steady glucose. i will also use red light during this block as well for brief periods.

it is better than just coffee + sugar, absolutely. i can also attest to the fact that during this block and whenever i utilize this strategy, my gastric emptying rate is noticeably faster, which is another reason i suspect the b1 helps with cognition. the digestive benefits are not to be overlooked.

remember, you want to "feed" the b1 with proper carbohydrates, keep that in mind. don't do what people often do while studying and go in a stressed state neglecting eating, the improved retention from b1 will make up for the time spent eating or taking care of yourself. its the quality vs quantity that matters.

you don't need to go super high dose with allithiamine, i notice an improvement that lasts a few hours with just 50mg.

that looks so cool

@CO3 Salicylic acid, niacinamide

@voldtzeig Anytime!

@TheSir thanks Sir. Will look into it.

@PissBoy When you say a caloric deficit diet based on low fat milk and OJ, is that literally all you're supposed to eat? No protein or starch? I'm trying to lose weight but I eat sufficient protein and starch in addition to milk and oj, so I assume something has to go

@the-MOUSE Blueprint cause s a terrible golf swing.

@yerrag these r my recent results btw maybe some more insight. can skip redundant info/tests https://imgur.com/gallery/jGT4wF9

reread my post the homeostasis part is very important

Expand on that please.

u could have gave me some credit

I gave at the bottom I wrote how I got all this knowledge from posts on here and RPF. But I will maybe link the posts if Im bored later.
